Nature can be quite amusing, hilarious even, you know. For example, here is a vulture who got his head stuck up a dead pig's butt. Don't worry though, the vulture managed to escape about an hour later.

The head stays on, the neck and spine are likely broken.

It is possible to very briefly see that the body-weight pivots on the tip of the beak as it flips over.



Also, just for fun, the moment of impact:


I have no goddamn idea what is going on here, but the hawk only appears in one frame on the regular speed and three frames on the slo-mo and all four frames look exactly like this. :lol:

Food for thought:

You're walking in the park with your toddler. Hungry falcon decides to go for it.

What next?

and of course you feel bad for the duck. But it is part of the great cycle of life and that doesn't remove the awesomeness of the hawk.

"I have no way of knowing whether you, who eventually will read this record, like stories or not. If you do not, no doubt you have turned these pages without attention. I confess that I love them. Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."

Here's a thread about flacons I made like 2 weeks ago

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/22346205#22346205


It contains a video of a falcon dive dive. Pretty cool to watch

Thank you for this post because it really puts into perspective how fucking amazing these animals are

1. speed, thing appears in one god damn frame...wtf

2.method of killing. it literally navy seals that ducks bitch ass. duck doesnt even see it coming and BOOM go to sleep... go to sleep little duck.

3. The coordination. The mother fucking coordination it took for this little guy to dive bomb that duck stop before impacting the ground, snap its neck like a ninja and bounce.



AMAZING

yep that's pretty weird

About as weird and your situation of living with a woman who openly tells you she doesn't find you physically attractive...now doubt she is the source of the trait of low self confidence, evident in your sexy guys thread posts

not trying to be a dick.  I"m just a little blunt and you coming out of the gate with "douches" and "immature" irked me

I'm not sure what kind of falcon that is, i want to say it's a Peregrine Falcon, which isn't just any old bird of prey or falcon... it's a highly tuned apex predator that can reach speeds of up to 240 miles per hour in a dive... which is fucking absurd.

i'm almost certain those streaks coming down it's eyes are indicative of the species, but feel free to correct me

Think that Peregrine is a good estimate, but not certain that it is the case.

Male Peregrines have a rather dark grey feathering to them, which seems more pronounced than in the OP:


Females are more brown, but appear to have too much coverage on the chest:


The male seems a better candidate than the female, but the colouring seems a bit off.

Googling for types of falcons brought up the Prairie Falcon though:



Which seems to have a similar striping pattern on the eyes, but is more of a soft brown that seems to match the original more closely.

Could still be a Peregrine though, either way I learned about a different species of Falcon today that I may actually see around my home and mistake for a type of Hawk.
